CESC is committed to the practices and values surrounding child safety. All procedures, measures and practices have been developed in accordance with Ministerial Order No 870 -Child Safe Standards- Managing the risk of child abuse in schools.

Happy 2019 and welcome to Cranbourne East Secondary College, where we share a common moral purpose: “Giving every student every opportunity to exceed their potential by providing a high-quality pathway to success.”

Cranbourne East Secondary College is a state-of-the-art school which is supported by an innovative curriculum that meets the individual needs of every student. The school places high expectations on academic growth, achievement and student behavior.

At CESC, we have high expectations for all students to learn and achieve personal growth and success. Engagement with the community and promotion of diversity are valued at CESC. Our staff provide excellent learning environments that are safe, engaging and stimulating, and which promote individual wellbeing as an essential ingredient for achieving educational success. CESC is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all students and young people. Our school’s child safety standards take into account the diversity of all children, including the needs of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students, and students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including children with disabilities and vulnerable children.

The College promotes very clear expectations for learning, attendance, behaviour, uniform and technology use; we expect these to be adhered to always. These high expectations reinforce the importance of everyone contributing in a positive manner when at school and in the community.

We endeavour to promote an atmosphere of mutual respect, understanding and co-operation which is underpinned by our new College values:
